Cas Holmes

Community & Teaching

In addition to developing my own practice, I work on commissions and exhibitions, developing projects with people of all ages and abilities within the community sector, schools, museums and recently, even in outside spaces. I also enjoy the challenge of working on site-specific projects and installations in collaboration with other artists, performers and musicians.

Community projects outside and inside utilise, where possible, available resources and materials. This can include a number of materials from willow and other plant materials to newspaper and scrap waste.

I deliver workshops for all ages including training projects for adults as part of the school curriculum development as well as supporting workshops for exhibitions and museum spaces.
